🏨 Accommodation Recommendation:
The Ten-Mile Snow Mountain Wild Luxury Hotel is definitely the highlight of this trip✨
📍 Address: No. 13, Xiàxué Group, Jiefang Village Committee, Jiantang Town
The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows let you see the snowy mountains and grasslands while lying in bed. There are also adorable animals like alpacas and ponies in the park to interact with, perfect for families with kids~
The hotel thoughtfully provides an oxygen machine, floor heating, and even offers free Tibetan costume experiences. Wearing them for photos feels amazing!
⛰️ Shika Snow Mountain:
Not far from the hotel, you can take the cable car up the mountain to the 4,506-meter-high viewing platform to overlook Meili Snow Mountain. If you're lucky, you can see the golden sunlight on the mountain!
🌿 Yila Grassland:
Recommended to visit in the afternoon. Rent a set of Tibetan clothes for amazing photos on the grassland~ You can also experience horseback riding and feel the daily life of Tibetan herders.
💦 Napa Lake:
The scenery around the lake is stunning. In spring and summer, the lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, while in autumn and winter, it turns into a golden grassland. The best part is there is no entrance fee!
🌟 Useful Tips:
1. The ultraviolet rays are strong in the plateau area, so be sure to use sun protection.
2. There is a big temperature difference between morning and night, so bring a thick jacket.
3. Don’t rush to take a shower on the first day to avoid altitude sickness.
4. Napa Lake is a seasonal lake; the best viewing period is from June to October.
